The Design for Communities Fund has launched to support community projects that improve access to good design in the built environment. Design England had a great time setting this project up for Design South East to help real community projects gather support by using the UK's largest crowdfunding platform Crowdfunder.co.uk.

Design England has delivered a half day half day hands on design training and workshop seminar for council planners and officers as part of Urban Design London's training offer Feedback from participants has been great and we hope to deliver similar seminars with a mix of case studies, guest speaker, workshop and quiz.
